Trlma L, 248 days ago

I enjoyed the course and look forward to moving into the next section and learning more. The online aspect very convenient give I work. My tutor Dr Murphy was prompt and gave good feedback. I would recommend a more concise and clear 1-2 page document on expectations for assessments, assignments and dates, with clear documentation and labelling, separate to other materials, as I found this information a little disjointed to find. Otherwise very enjoyable module.

The course material is presented in a great and easy to understand way. The colourful pictures and diagrams enhance the course material. The content of the material was interessting and keeps one engaged without it being overwhelming, it is a great mix. It is great to have a tutor assigned to a student where one can get help and support and ask questions. I appreciated my tutor`s feedback on my assignments. And I particularly appreciated the clarifications regarding the TMA and the word count for each different section, and help to clarify the referencing system.

Caroline T, 360 days ago

The course materials made sense and explained what was required throughout. My tutor (Marie Murphy) was really engaging throughout and very supportive when I asked questions and probed into next steps etc. If/when I sign up for my next course I would ask for Marie to be my tutor again.

Nick A, 1 year ago

this course was very beneficial in learning how CBT works and how i can implement this type of therapy into to my practice as a therapist. my tutor was very helpful in answering any questions i had and with honest feedback for my work. After doing this course i feel confident enough to carry out CBT therapy as part of my integrated work.

Certificate in Christian Counselling

I really enjoyed the course and want to carry on with course 2400 to level 4. I expected to get a bit more support from my tutor tbh, like a quick call or messaging back and forth a bit more, but her feedback was valuable and to the point. I think the assignment 5 wording can be improved. It was not very clear and I got marked as C which was upsetting. I’d have done a much better job, had the instructions been clearer. Happy to be corrected. Thanks.
